Planner Guide's Nostalgic Paper Memories

has a Face behind the Dot .Com

The 9 year-old plannersguide.com web site has marked its spot on the net. The site entered its place on the dot.com freeway on May 22, 2000 as a diversion from an unparalleled new life for its designer. Behind this maze of information on the internet is its creator, Valerie Tillery.

After having to quit my job as a social service worker (16 years of experience) in order to care for my 90-year-old grandmother in the home, I sought many avenues to fill my day. Grandmother was a long-time business woman at best. I was now the stay-at-home granddaughter.

Many dot.com businesses spring up for a number of reasons. My reason grew from a new lifestyle after other family members declined to care for grandmother. From this duty-driven obligation, the web site began to evolve out of necessity. The family funds began to dwindle and a home-based, source of income was needed. I then decided to promote my existing calligraphy and certificate business of “Nostalgic Paper Memories” (Est. 1998). I increased my stock and added more 1800’s, reproduction Victorian Certificates of marriage, birth and communion as products to sell on the site. It has been an added treat to personally work with my clients on special events in their lives. I get so excited for them and I enjoy encountering people from all over the Country! And World!

I extend an invitation to those who want to start their own business! I now offer business plan start-up materials to encourage others to alter their lifestyle some by doing something that makes them happy. It may be a web site, home-based business or small business....just give it a try.

My mission is to offer a unique product that creates sentiment for the family. Plannersguide.com is a family-oriented site and does not promote ill-appropriate content. Etiquette and socialization is becoming a lost way of life. This site offers to correct this by providing helpful hints for both family and corporate users.

Personal service and a personalized product are also in rare form. It is difficult to provide personalized service on the internet, yet I provide my photo, an email address, and offer to answer questions so that I can assist. Those in rural, low-populated areas of the country can benefit from the services offered when such is limited in their areas.

I enjoy working on my web site and being a Calligraphy Planning Consultant for brides in this area (this type of planner works with proper etiquette in addressing invitation envelopes, selecting the proper paper grade, other print shop needs and being a calligrapher!)

What developed in the "stay-at-home granddaughter" phase, was that I actually returned back to college using my business administration degree to obtain a second degree in Communications and a teaching certificate! I'm certified in speech communication & ESL.

I direct-cared "Miss Gladys" for 28 months. Then, grandmother passed away peacefully in her sleep on April 23, 2002. She was so ready by this time. She was a quick-minded 92-year-old, former business woman, who offered lots of advice. Granddaddy always thought she was smart. While she provided practical ideas and could quickly calculate profit (or loss), she turned her head and waived her hand in the air at the 21^st century way of doing business and its Internet concept. Even so, she enjoyed receiving email! She'd ask me why people would visit my "computer store!" (hard to explain 'world-wide web' to her). I miss her and miss showing her all these wonderful products.

Mission of PlannersGuide.com

A resource for event planning for family gatherings, at-work socials, seminar planning, and more!

Planning an event or celebration is easy for some---harder for others. There's usually at least one well organized person in the family or "at the office", yet even they thrive on lists and sticky notes. If you do decide to hire an event coordinator or party planning company, it will be an easier process if you review what is expected or needed prior to your meeting. Planners Guide's objective is as the name indicates--to provide the planner with a guide. We want to provide you with practical information and guidelines for most any occasion. Life's celebrations need a plan. Whatever the purpose, much of the details are the same for any occasion.

And, if I forgot something, I welcome your suggestions!
